Hah. Mpwapwa (E. Africa), {Dr. Kirk). 



Head, prothorax above and elytra of a bright golden green, 

 strongly shining, and, in certain lights, giving reddish coppery 

 reflections. Head rather thickly pixnctured in front. Prothorax 

 near the anterior margin smooth ; with the basal constricted part 

 transversely strigose ; with the disk sparsely punctured (more 

 sparsely in the middle), and towards the sides feebly wrinkled; 

 with the medio-lateral tubercles obtuse, and the antero-lateral 

 callosities strongly enough developed. ScuteUum somewhat ru- 

 gosely punctured. Elytra densely punctured, with the punctures 

 somewhat less dense towards the base ; apices roimded. Body 

 underneath sub-nitid, with a faint greyish pubescence. Legs and 

 antennge black, with the thickened clavate portion of the four 

 anterior femora reddish chestnut. All the femora provided with a 

 tooth on the underside a little before the apex. 



A second specimen, also a female, and of somewhat 

 greater size (length 2'2 mm.), differs in colour only 

 from the description given. In this specimen not a trace 

 of green is visible ; those parts which in the first 

 specimen are golden green are here entirely of a coi3pery 

 pm-ple. Finding not the slightest difference in structural 

 character to accompany this rather marked difference of 

 colour, I am obliged to regard both specimens as sj)eci- 

 fically the same.
